Policy catalogueNation, Citizenship, Immigration and Europe
Agreed PolicyAsylum and International Protection
Asylum is protection from genuine persecution or serious danger, not a general mechanism for choosing a preferred country of settlement.
Position
Protection should normally be provided in the first genuinely safe country available and, where practicable, as close as possible to the displaced person's home region. European states retain the right to reject unfounded claims and remove persons with no lawful basis to remain.
Policy
- Maintain access to asylum for persons credibly alleging persecution or serious harm.
- Require prompt registration, identity checks and security screening.
- Use accelerated procedures for applicants from generally safe countries, while preserving an individual opportunity to show that the presumption does not apply to them.
- Apply a strong first-safe-country or safe-third-country principle where effective protection is genuinely available.
- Distinguish refugees from ordinary economic migrants; economic hardship alone is not asylum.
- Prioritize regional humanitarian assistance and controlled resettlement of particularly vulnerable refugees where appropriate.
- Rejected applicants should be removed promptly after applicable review rights are exhausted.
- Temporary wartime protection should remain temporary and be reviewed when conditions materially change.
- Unaccompanied minors and persons with genuine vulnerabilities receive separate safeguards.
Implementation note
Implementation note
The policy depends on individualized protection screening and the non-refoulement principle. Existing European and international obligations would constrain any attempt to remove a person to a place where they face persecution, torture or comparable serious harm.
